Tour Plan
We will pick you from Arusha airport or Kilimanjaro airport for overnight in your accommodation in Arusha city.
Pick up from your Arusha hotel at 8:00 AM, then take a 3-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, located 115 km from Arusha and covering an area of 2,800 square kilometers. You will enjoy a full-day game drive inside the park, exploring its diverse landscapes and wildlife. In the evening, drive to the Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
You will wake up around 6:30 am for breakfast before departing for a full-day adventure on the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Known for its incredible wildlife diversity, the crater is one of the few places where you can see all of Africa’s "Big Five"—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the rare black rhino—in one location.
During your drive, you'll enjoy the stunning landscapes and the beauty of the crater’s soda lake. You’ll have lunch within the crater, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and rich biodiversity.
After a thrilling day of exploration, you will drive to the Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, reflecting on the extraordinary sights and experiences of the day.
We traverse the rough road to Lake Eyasi, another soda lake in the Rift Valley. We arrive in the afternoon for a cultural interaction with the Tatoga tribe. Our guide from the village will lead the tour as we explore the dry and rugged landscape on foot, home to a small group of bushmen: the Hadzabe or Watindiga. These tribes still live in bands, hunting with bows and arrows, and gathering roots, tubers, and wild fruits, just as humans did to survive 10,000 years ago. Another notable tribe in the area is the Datoga, who historically had rivalries with the Maasai tribe over grazing land.
We start early in the morning for a hunting tour with the bushmen then back to the lodge for breakfast. Afterwards, we depart for lake Manyara for a full day game drive , inside the park you will be able to see climbing tree lions and a lot of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake and you will visit a hot spring . Also the same day you will visit Maasai boma where you will see how they live and learn their culture and traditions then later drive back to Arusha for dinner and overnight.
